If it dies, you may get a free repair (J Kronman - 10/26/07)

Satisfy everyone from the newbie to the semi-pro (Steve's Digicams - 4/7/03)

The Nikon Coolpix 5700 makes the grade with this reviewer, who is particularly pleased with the camera's lens and image quality, but less enthused about the poorly placed control buttons. read original review

All the manual controls you'll ever need (DC Resource - 4/7/03)

A glowing review of the Nikon Coolpix 5700, citing its impressive zoom, manual controls, and microdrive memory slot. Downsides include confusing and poorly-placed controls, and a very small LCD screen. read original review

Though the Nikon CoolPix 5700 impressed this reviewer with its image quality, 8x zoom, and through-the-lens viewfinder, its confusing controls and unpredictable autofocus reduced its final score. read original review
